Tawny Pipit - Dhahran Hills

Yesterday and the day before there were a few good birds on the spray fields including a Steppe Grey Shrike, one Daurian Shrike, one Isabelline Wheatear and a Eurasian Curlew which is only the second one I have seen on the 'patch'. This bird had a damaged leg so may have been shot at, but luckily it could still fly and hopefully will survive. There were the first returning Tawny Pipits of the autumn (four) on the scrubby desert area and 13 Northern Shoveller, 13 Garganey, 8 Cattle Egret, five Black-winged Stilt, three Clamorous Reed Warbler, one Great Reed Warbler and a Spotted Flycatcher.

About The Blog

I hope you enjoy browsing my latest images & notes from the field, the majority are from Dhahran (eastern Saudi Arabia) as well as bird ringing in Bahrain. Most of the photographs are of birds but I will also include other interesting natural history shots when I take them.

About The Photographs

I am an amateur photographer who goes birdwatching and takes the occasional picture with birdwatching being my primary interest. I do birdwatch in an area that has good light for photogrpahy and manage to take quite a few photographs each day.
